[This post was originally published on The Living Room Tumblr.]

With six bowl games left, nine contestants – including my 6-year-old daughter, “Loyette” – are still mathematically alive to win the 9th annual Living Room Times Bowl Pick ‘em Contest, and earn Eternal Glory.

Here are the remaining games:

Sugar Bowl: Alabama vs. Oklahoma, tonight, 6:30 PM MST
Cotton Bowl: Missouri vs. Oklahoma State, Friday, 5:30 PM MST
Orange Bowl: Ohio State vs. Clemson, Friday, 6:30 PM MST
Compass Bowl: Vanderbilt vs. Houston, Saturday, 11:00 AM MST
GoDaddy Bowl: Ball State vs. Arkansas State, Sunday, 7:00 PM MST
BCS Title Game: Florida State vs. Auburn, Monday, 6:30 PM MST

And here are the teams that each of the still-alive LRT Bowl Pick ’em contestants need to win their respective bowl games. (NOTE: These scenarios were manually checked by me, and errors are possible, but I think I’ve got them right.)
